8-1-11

Sorry we haven’t spoken in a while, but I have been having too much fun….too much fun…what’s that mean?  It’s like too much money…no such thing.  It’s like a girl too pretty, with too much class, being too lucky, or a car too fast.  Whatever they say I done, …..er something.  That distraction was your fault, not mine.

Going back to Thursday, we pick up where we left off with our tepid adventurers.  I brought Jackson and Sophia, full of grace, what a pretty face, down to la casa for a noche of pelucliaing.  Given that we had not yet watched Yogi Bear 1000000000000000000000000000000000000 times, and considering that there are not any other movies that will play on my laptop (think that Cole may have hacked it), we bundled up the Arizonas in blankets and filled them up with hot chocolate and watched Yogi Bear in our open air exterior Cineplex. 

Jax and Soapie stayed the night, and played all day on Friday with Lobert and Coley Moley Guacamole.  When Chris and I got down there, we let Elisa and Lo take a nap and the rest of us played some D&D.  The adventures were grand, the humor was crass, and the battles were won.  Good times all around.

That evening, Julia (whose favorite movie is Side Out….go ahead ask her about it.  She can quote the entire move…go ahead ask her to…..please…..please….if you do, she will give you money….please….please) and Tina (my understanding is that welcome to fb is in order) came down and we ate sausages and frozen pie (nothing is too good for big homie’s birthday). 

That evening we said our goodbyes to the Arizonas.  I just wish that our language was not so limited.  I have been trying and trying to find the words to express my thanks to them for coming out for the entire month and taking the lion’s share of hospital shifts, and for all that they did.  I think the only way to truly show my gratitude is to say: pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake pancake.  You guys are the best.

They left on Saturday morning, and Elisa and I just enjoyed hanging out with the kids.  Logan went to swim class, and got to use the kickboard.  We went down to SJ for some pizza.  Nice and relaxing.  Sunday was more of the same.  We took a fun little adventure to see the tide pools in Half Moon Bay (unfortunately the tide was in, but we had a great time anyway), ate some clam chowder, and just enjoyed having our little family all together.

This last week Cole also had his follow up appointment at UCSF, where (of course with this kid), everything looks good.  He also had an appointment with the radiation department and an appointment at the normal clinic.  They explained the process of radiation to Elisa.  Basically he has 20 sessions (one session per day M-F for 4 weeks).  Most of the sessions are lower levels of radiation, but there will be some (~6…..Elisa told me but I don’t remember the exact number if you can believe it…I know, surprising) that are higher levels which will be directed at the spots that the surgeon tagged with the clips.  Right now we are set to start this process on 8/15.

I think that is all for now, but stay tuned.  While you are staying tuned, please raise your glasses and toast Cole, stock broker.
